Two years ago, It's Monday morning, another school day if it was a normal day I would have been jumping around acting cute around my mom when she makes my breakfast. Being the only child, my parents pampered me endlessly. Liam would tease me I am a brat. Maybe half true though. Liam, my heart flutters at the thought of him pecking my cheek. I have been avoiding any chance of interaction with Liam since that day that makes it two days. Two days without Liam, it's a record. "Scarlet eat your food, you'll be late for school," mom says flicking my forehead. "Mom do you think I could stay home today, my head hurts" I lied holding my head as it hurts. Truth is I don't know what to do if I meet Liam. "Young lady, I know what you are playing at?" Mom says suspiciously. "What do you mean mom?" "You are scared you'll get your test paper today, ""What? I don't even think about that, now that you reminded me, my head hurts more " "Stop whining or I'll tell your dad," mom says sternly. "M
It's December twenty-fifth and almost three months I never got to talk with my parents, I am mad at them for leaving me alone but I couldn't bring myself to contact them either. The town is celebrating Christmas but I stay alone not really in the mood for Christmas. Days turn months and soon months will turn year. If only my parents are with me I would have bought gifts and we would have been so happy celebrating Christmas together. As he said Liam goes to college from his home, we would never stay alone together, so we hardly talk with each other. Chase texted me last night to meet up today and I am meeting him later. I know it's unfair for him to prolong this relationship and it needs to stop. No matter what I am breaking up with him. I was watching a movie with a phone in my hand scrolling the Instagram feed. I raised head and froze when I see Liam in the doorway staring at me. The intensity in his eyes makes me want to run out of the rooms. He was supposed to be in the church and
It's new year's eve today, I woke up with a huge headache, I indulge myself in the book most of the time because honestly, that's the best distraction I could find. Justin would play with me sometimes, probably Aunt idea but that kid makes me laugh so hard sometimes. He's ten this year and being the youngest one still acts like a kid. A week passed and I haven't seen Liam since that night, the whole week is really hard for me, I only think about him. Aunt Ruth refuse to let me stay home for the rest of the week so I would sometimes go to church or tag along with her to the malls and grocery store. She's the epitome of a cheery woman. I decided to work at the town library for my expense and Aunt Ruth got the job the for me. I am glad I don't have to haul myself in the room for the whole day. As for today, I decided to join the New year's function because Aunt is too persistence. Youths are supposed to decorate the church and the town entrance. Liam and I always use to go and play with
Two years ago, It's November now, the month in which every student appear their exam, as for me I have my matriculation In February, Liam will appear his 11th-grade exam in January, in short, we won't be able to enjoy our holiday. Sad life I know. I wish I could be like Justin because he just finish his exam yesterday and he doesn't have to study until the new session starts next year.When will I grow up and marry Liam?It's not the first time I envision my future, getting married to him on the sea beach, us having our kids, it's everything I dream of in the daytime rather than studying. If my mom knows I have feelings for my brother with no blood relation she is sure to be disappointed in me. So, I never tell anyone about my feelings for Liam.Better safe than be sorry. I walk down the street muttering curses under my breath, mom has asked me to bring vegetables from Liam home because their relatives sent them from their place. While I was busy sleeping considering I don't have a
I raise my head and place my lips on his warm one, I could hear my heart beating erratically I fear he would hear it, Liam stay stilled and I pull apart feeling so ashamed. What was I thinking? Of course, he doesn't feel the same way. "I am sorry Liam " I mutter looking down, Liam lifts my chin and looks at me intensely, his lips came crashing down on mine in a second, it takes a moment for me to realize Liam is kissing me back and I love every minute of it. He tastes like a lemon tea probably from drinking before, his lips are the sweetest thing on earth. Our lips move in sync like we have done it million times, I love how it was our first yet it feels so familiar. He kisses me deeply, passionately as I matter to him, while I pour my love for him through my kisses. We pull apart later leaning our foreheads together smiling at what just happen. Liam is smiling widely like he just won a prize, I probably look the same. "Scar I love you " Liam whispers at me, my heart thud at his word
The smell of the strawberry shampoo enters my nostrils as water drips down my body. The cold water someone soothes my body and mind, although it is chilly outside and I am likely to catch a cold from standing under the cold water for almost an hour, I don't have the will to step away. My mind can never rest from all the thoughts I've conjured up, I could never understand why my parents never contacted me nor why Liam refuses to say anything. I walk out of the shower only when my feet began to itch from the coldness, I dress warmly in a beanie on my head, a dark maroon scarf and my blue jeans pair my favourite blazer. Anywhere away from the house is a blessing. I waited for Aunt Ruth in the living room playing with my long strand of hair mindlessly. She promises me to drop me off in the first day, I look up when I hear oddly familiar footsteps walking my way, my eyes met with Brown pair of tired eyes, dark circles around his eyes, I look away before I get lost in his eyes. "Hey" I ru
Two years ago,The skies are covered with mist, the weather freezing with no sign of any sunlight, our teeth chattering under the covers, we are supposed to study but we were in our bed shivering. "Scarlet, will you stay here?" Charlotte says hugging me closer. I lean to her warm body my eyes drooping, I nod my head mindlessly to her question. Charlotte and I share our room, both of us usually sleep together despite provided two different beds. "Scarlet don't you dare sleep again, you are supposed to help me pack my bags " she pushed me taking the covers off me. "It's freakingly cold, lotte please show me some mercy ""I told you not to call me that, " she says annoyed, I call her lotte because it is similar to lotte duty-free. she'll end up pinching me if I call her that. I woke up groggily rubbing the sleep off my eyes, It's December twenty-third, we all are supposed to go home for Christmas but I am still mad at my parents and my so-called boyfriend for sending me here. It's bee
Two years ago,"Merry Christmas" we all shouted in unison, The people around us were laughing and hugging wishing each other. It's midnight exactly and all the church members were sitting around the bonfire waiting for midnight. The representative's blast beautiful fireworks, the skies fill with multiple colours, Liam grips my hand tighter as we watch the firework display, it's such a beautiful moment, I wanted to replay it over and over again. "Merry Christmas scar, I love you so much " he whispers in my ears kissing my cheek. We were at the back so it's hard for people to see us, I grin up at him mouthing back the word 'I love you' If only I could stay like this forever. Soon, my parents came to wish me, my mom pinching my cheek playfully. "Merry Christmas love " "Merry Christmas mom, where is daddy?" I ask looking around for my dad. "He went to sleep early honey, are you ready to go back?" "Hmm, mom can I stay a bit longer, Liam can drop me home," I ask hoping she would say y
BonusLiamI am fed up listening to Crystal talking to her girlfriend, I just want to go home but I am stuck with my work. Willow and Scarlet are at my place tonight and I fucking can't wait to see them.It's almost 8 and by now I know Willow will be falling asleep, my daughter is my angel and I can't lose her. Last night, I had the best night with Scarlet. The feel of her soft body under my body in paradise. I love her small moans and even the slightest thing she does._______________________When I step into my place, I am shocked to see all the lights turned off. Usually, when they are asleep, the living room is lighted b
EPILOGUEChapter 90“Happy birthday!” we all shouted in unison when Willow and Liam stepped into the living room. Willowed gasped and watched at the decoration in amazement. The living room is filled with balloons and the posture of her from since she was a baby.Jamie, Isha, Lee, Justin, my dad, Oliver, Angel and David sang happy birthday while Liam helped her with cutting the cake. She's jumping up and down wearing her Rapunzel m gown, she looked like a real princess who is very very naughty. As a surprise, I bought her the cycle she wanted me to buy and Liam bought her puppy which she is yet to find out.“Sing a song, birthday g
Chapter 89“Does this look okay?” I asked, Jamie showing her the strapless black dress I bought two months ago. She is about to fall asleep sitting in my bed. Jamie is five months pregnant; she's the cutest pregnant woman I ever come across with.“Oh My God! I think my baby is pinching my stomach” she grimaces in pain, I laugh at her way of the word she is using.“Your baby is fine, Jamie. He doesn't want his mom to suffer by pinching your wombs” after thinking for a minute, she nods her head and tries to doze off again until I throw the newspaper in her head.
Chapter 88RecapHe cupped my cheek and slammed his lips on mine when all I could do was close my eyes and kiss it back feverishly. Our lips move sensually like they have a brain of its own. Liam continued to tug me closer and kissed me deeply until his phone rang and broke us apart.My lips tingle and I bite my lip, a small smile playing on my lips. It's been so long we last kissed and it somehow left me excited. Liam beside us hadn't said anything after that kiss and was driving towards his place staring ahead without blinking. Me, being the creepy lady, stared at his profile and his pink lips that taste so delicious and also the lips
Chapter 87The morning hues and the coldness of the winter season in the morning is one of the most beautiful views along with the most satisfying sensation, the freezing dewdrops in your skin gives you the cold and fresh feeling. I wish there was winter all year round.It's been three months since Grey's departure and also the beginning of the winter season.Willow turns five in a week and I can't help but wonder how time flies. She's the best daughter in the whole wide world, not only she gave me happiness; I felt complete with my daughter.
Chapter 86It's Monday morning and I still can't get over the fact that Grey left today. Willow hasn't known about Grey's departure and I don't know what I would say if she asked me. I just hope she won't ask me.As for Liam, he hasn't contacted me after he hung up on me.My cell phone lays on the table with only notification from the company or Jamie sending multiple texts asking to go shopping tomorrow which I gladly declined but that girl is adamant.“Mommy, Why isn't Daddy coming to visit us?” Willow strolled into my room with a pout. I motion
Chapter 85She gave me love, and I gave her pain. I still remember the days she held me in her arms begging me not to leave her and I didRegret is sin, but I am drowning in regret, She looked lifeless when I left her that day, those eyes were haunting me for months, I couldn't understand why a man had to hurt a woman and I am a man that hurt my girl. Protecting her was my ambition, and I was the one who gave up on her. I don't deserve love, If she ever forgives me, She's the purest Gem.This is the third time I read over the word, again and again, it's official I'm a fan of this author. Jamie is a babe for gifting me
Chapter 84“Why did he do that?” I whined while taking a sip of another juice pretending to be an alcoholic. Jamie being a good friend kept me a companion while I was whining the whole time about Liam.“Come on, you can't be that mad at him, he's doing the best for you believe it or not” I glared her way not believing a single thing.“But he should have asked me first” I took another sip of grape juice and felt a little heavy with all those liquids I drank.“Stop drinking, You are making me worry” I ignored her whining and checked my phone to see
Chapter 83I thought I was doing for the best but apparently Liam thinks the other, he ignored every of my messages and calls and now I am left with Whining Willow.“Mommy, Why is daddy not picking up!? He doesn't love me anymore?” She's been asking me those questions for the past half hour. I tried to cheer her up as much as I could but She's not listening to me. She's truly my baby. Stubborn as a bull!“Baby, Come on eat those '' she pouts and sat in her seat clutching my phone to her chest.“Daddy is busy, baby, he'll call you after his w
